Baltimore Ravens

Baltimore still has work to do on its roster.

After his son’s overdose death, former Baltimore Raven Ray Lewis started a mental health foundation to bring mental health screenings to Baltimore County schools at no cost.

Baltimore could sign these veterans to solve their roster deficiencies at center, guard, defensive line, wide receiver, tight end and punter.

Maxx Crosby arrived in Owings Mills last Tuesday morning, sure he was about to become a Raven. He flew home to Las Vegas later that night, wondering what had gone wrong.

The Ravens’ first wave of free agency was defined by the players they lost. But don't overlook their signings.

“I think he’s got a lot left in the tank,” Raven GM Eric DeCosta said at Trey Hendrickson’s introductory news conference Friday.

Everyone has an opinion about the Maxx Crosby trade that fell through and its aftermath.

The Ravens are reportedly signing Hendrickson to a four-year deal worth $112 million.

The Banner spoke with medical experts and former NFL front-office officials to help unpack how such a massive deal could come undone so quickly.

“Nobody more disappointed than me,” said Eric DeCosta, who called Maxx Crosby, an elite run defender and proven pass rusher, “one of my favorite players in the entire NFL.”

Lamar Jackson was set to count $74.5 million against the cap in 2026, which was the second-highest figure in the NFL and represented nearly a quarter of the Ravens’ total space.

The Ravens were one of the early winners of the NFL offseason after they traded for star edge rusher Maxx Crosby on Friday. A lot has changed.

The four-year, $112 million deal is worth $28 million annually and can reach $120 million total with additional incentives, according to ESPN.

Baltimore had agreed to send two first-round picks to Las Vegas.

Simpson, 28, is joining the Ravens on a three-year, $30 million deal.

COLUMN | Tyler Linderbaum, Isaiah Likely, Jordan Stout and others are gone. Should the Ravens have found ways to keep more of their free agents? And how does this change the strategy going forward?

In Linderbaum, the Ravens lose a three-time Pro Bowler and a locker room leader. What are there options at center?

The Ravens will have another busy Day 3 in next month’s NFL draft.
